Chapter 2071 Hideyoshi Hashiba became a laughing stock
Although the island country is large, the plains are fragmented due to the special terrain of the volcanic island. Only Kanto Plain as the core and Kinki as the core of the Kyoto Basin have the strength to conquer the world.
When the Kamakura shogunate was founded, it was based on Kanhachishu and was beyond the reach of the Kyoto Basin. It was difficult to influence Kinki, especially the Kyoto Osaka Omi Noo and other economic zones with the Kyoto Basin as the core.
The Ashikaga shogunate learned the lessons of the Kamakura shogunate. The shogunate was based in Kyoto, and then the Kanto generals were sent to Kanto, forming mutual horns.
Who would have known that the Kamakura Ashikaga family who entrusted the ten kingdoms of Kanto were not satisfied with the Kanto shoguns, but actually wanted to compete with the Ashikaga shoguns in Kyoto.
We are all of Ashikaga blood, so why can’t the Kamakura Ashikaga family be a shogun?
Starting from the Kanto shogunate, the three governors and four officials successively challenged the Ashikaga shogunate's family. The entire Ashikaga shogunate period was a big fight between the family members.
The fight continued until all members of the family were maimed, and then it was the turn of Miyoshi, Rokkaku, Oda and other foreign clans. After you finished singing, I came on the stage. Now I have almost sent the Ashikaga Shogunate away.
Today, the Kyoto shogunate has only one sign left. The sage is unwilling to shed too much blood during the change of dynasties, and plans to merge the Kyoto shogunate into the Grand Council to leave some dignity to the remnants of the previous dynasty.
But those famous people didn't cherish it and had to call Ashikaga Yoshiaki back to play against the saint.
This is really because you don't want to show your dignity and force others to help you show your dignity.
Hosokawa Fujitaka gave birth to Ayu for the saint, and the Izumi-Hosokawa family was already of divine descent, so it was naturally impossible for her to cause trouble with those idiots in Kyoto.
But if all those idiots in Kyoto are dead, can the Izumi-Hosokawa family make a big fortune from them?
After all, the Izumi Hosokawa family belongs to the core samurai family of the Ashikaga Shogunate. If Kyoto experiences a major chaos, the saint will always need someone to finish it off.
Although the political power of the Kyoto shogunate has declined, the geographical location of the Kyoto Basin is so great that the economic interests of Kyoto's castle towns are very large.
Hosokawa Fujitaka was appointed by the saint to control the Sakai Port Customs House. It would be great if he could capture the Kyoto Castle Castle Customs House again.
In addition, Ninagawa himself was in the Tanba State-owned territory, and Hatakeyama Takamasa occupied the land in Minamigouchi. They were both easy prey for the Izumi-Hosokawa family.
Killing these bastards who threaten the Shiba Goddess Group and occupying the territory at the same time is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
With such a great benefit, Hosokawa Fujitaka is naturally happy to see Akechi Mitsuhide repeat the old deeds of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Oda Nobunaga, using his methods to kill people and seize land.
Seeing Hosokawa Fujitaka so actively mention the trends of the Kyoto shogunate, Akechi Mitsuhide knew in his heart what his good sister was planning. It was just me taking the blame and she would get the benefits.
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly, not wanting to be led by Hosokawa Fujitaka, so he looked around and spoke.
"I heard that Hideyoshi Hashiba made a big joke in the Western Kingdom. She sent people to Tomo to give gifts to the general, hoping to become the adopted daughter of Lord Kōkata."
Although Fujitaka Hosokawa was dissatisfied with Mitsuhide Akechi changing the topic, she couldn't help laughing and laughed when she heard the scandal about the Shiba family's biggest foreign enemy.
"No matter how miserable the Ashikaga Shogun's family is, they are still direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi. How could it be possible for Mr. Kokata to let a shoe-warming servant into the Shogun's family, even if he is an adopted daughter?
Hideyoshi Hashiba is making a fool of himself.
This matter has been reported from the Western Kingdom. I heard that the Lord was so angry that he directly kicked out the envoys sent by Hideyoshi Hashiba to deliver gifts. It is really embarrassing."
Hashiba Hideyoshi's origin is not a secret. In order to expand the source of troops, Oda Nobunaga elevated the status of Ashigaru to form a clan, which can serve as the grassroots military leader like the Hime Samurai and become the backbone of the army.
Although this was only a small breakthrough, for the Wu family, it was a major event that caused a thousand-mile dike to collapse in an ant nest.
When the Wu family no longer has a monopoly on military positions, civilians can also be promoted through military merit. This breaks the Wu family's taboo of respectability.
The Hime Warriors could laugh it off if their lord accidentally promoted one or two civilians who were lucky enough to be promoted, but the establishment of a system like Oda Nobunaga's approach undermined the roots of the samurai family's privilege.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga's death was not unjust at all. She had gone too far and stood on the opposite side of the ruling group.
As a benchmark figure of the Oda clan, Hashiba Hideyoshi was repeatedly promoted by Oda Nobunaga, with the intention of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars.
Let the people see the success of Hideyoshi Hashiba, which greatly mobilized their subjective initiative.
With one hand centralizing power and squeezing the territory's resources, and another hand expanding his military base to encourage Ashigaru, Oda Nobunaga's power snowballed and quickly grew into the world's most powerful feudal lord in a short period of time. It was no accident.
However, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who broke through the ceiling of civilians and successfully promoted to a member of the ruling class, had no intention of becoming a civilian benchmark in the hands of Oda Nobunaga.
Like those civilian samurai who were lucky enough to join the samurai family, Hideyoshi Hashiba tried his best to put aside his past identity, and his attitude towards civilians was more indifferent than that of other samurai families.
After the death of Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi Hashiba, in order to win the favor of the samurai family, even ordered to limit the size of the clan and stopped promoting civilians, ending the breakthrough of Oda's military system.
The power of the Zu clan that expanded during the period of Oda Nobunaga came to an abrupt end and will gradually shrink as time goes by, eventually disappearing into history.
Hideyoshi Hashiba tried his best to break away from the class she was born in, but in the eyes of the nobles, she was still the humble servant.
Her policy of marrying Takao Oda and suppressing the common class was also regarded as a ridiculous performance without knowing it.
Initially, everyone was just chatting, but Hideyoshi Hashiba lost his mind and went to kneel down to beg Ashikaga Yoshiaki to be his adopted daughter. However, he was humiliated and gave everyone an excuse after dinner.
Hosokawa Fujitaka came from a well-known family, so he naturally laughed for a while. When he heard Mitsuhide Akechi mention it this time, he couldn't help laughing again and said coldly.
"Untouchables are untouchables. I really don't know how to be disrespectful."
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and sighed.
"Hashiba Hideyoshi will no longer be a pariah soon. She has capable people under her command."
Hosokawa Fujitaka asked with a frown.
"Why did Mitsuhide say this?"
Akechi Mitsuhide chuckled.
"It turns out you don't know yet.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was not discouraged after being frustrated by Mr. Kakata, and turned around and contacted the Tosa Ichijo family.
The Tosa Ichijo family was born in a branch of the Shoseki family. After the emperor's court was destroyed and the public family was completely in decline, he became a rich man with no heft.
Now that his territory has been invaded by Tosa's Chosougabu family, his family is about to die, so he doesn't care about the noble face.
Although the Ashikaga Shogun family is in decline, there are still three inches of nails in the rotten ship.
But if the Tosa Ichijo family didn't grasp Hashiba Hideyoshi's last life-saving straw, they might really be extinct.
Therefore, her family had no choice but to agree to Hideyoshi Hashiba's succession."
